Abstract: A theoretical study is made of clamped circular plates of rigid-plastic material subjected to blast loading uniformly distributed over the surface. The dependence of the permanent central deflection ...

Abstract: Wave solutions are obtained by the Laplace-transform method for a semi-infinite beam subjected to a concentrated load moving at a velocity which may be supersonic, intersonic, or subsonic with ...

Abstract: A theory is postulated to explain the plastic buckling of cylindrical shells caused by uniform radially inward impulses. Experimental results are presented which show that the number of buckles ...

Abstract: A theory is postulated to explain the dynamic plastic buckling of cylindrical shells in sustained axial compressive flow. Tube impact experiments are described in which uniform axisymmetric waves ...

Abstract: Successful operation of many practical devices that involve high-speed implosion of shells of circular cross section requires a stable collapse motion. In this paper, the dynamic buckling of ...

Abstract: The linear thermoelastic problem is solved for a uniform heat flow disturbed by a hole of ovaloid form, which includes the ellipse and circle as special cases. Results for stress and displacement ...

Abstract: This paper contains the description and results of experiments in which pinned and clamped beams are subjected to uniformly distributed impulses large enough to cause considerable plastic ...

Abstract: Dynamic triaxial compression experiments were performed on a limestone‐aggregate concrete whose unconfined static compressive strength is about 100 MPa. The axial strain rates ranged from 0.5/s.to 10/s, the confinement ...
